Bits and bobs on a Monday

1. The heavy frosts have finally done for my nasturtiums and they now look like sad limp seaweed.
2. The rewrite of PLOTTING FOR GROWN-UPS is taking up so much of my head space I am chronically distracted, and can’t even settle down and still my thoughts in Quaker meeting.
3. I have some wonderful (private) family news and I so want to tell my mother about it, and she isn’t here to tell.
4. I want to work on the book ALL the time and not start  on my Christmas preparations, even though this Christmas is an ON Christmas. Whooppee!
